Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham was ejected late in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, during a bizarre sequence that saw the Thunder attempt five free throws in one possession.
With 47.5 seconds left in the period, Isaiah Stewart was initially called for a loose ball foul against Thunder center Jaylin Williams. During a review by the officials after Lu Dort slipped on the same play, Cunningham was called for his first technical while having a conversation with a referee.
While players were at the line awaiting Williams' free throws and continued discussing the calls, Cunningham and Dennis Schrou0308der were both called for consecutive techs.
